How about I combine 2 of my favorite topics— 60s pop and 60s tv?

Here are some of my favorite TV appearances by 60s musical acts.

Beginning, of course, with Boyce & Hart on Bewitched.

Which naturally must be followed up by:

Boyce & Hart on I Dream of Jeannie

And both of those were predated by:

Chad & Jeremy on the Patty Duke Show

Not to be outdone:

Chad & Jeremy also appeared on Batman

How about even more...

Chad & Jeremy on Batman

Get read for this one.

It’s the Standells on The Munsters

(And they don’t sing Dirty Water)

Moby Grape on The Mike Douglas Show

Or as he calls them, “The Moby Grapes”

Lot of surprising acts made the trek to Nashville. But few pieces are as surprising as ...

The Monkees on the Johnny Cash Show

If we’re talking Monkees, who can forget...

Davy Jones on the Brady Bunch

This one courtesy of @bjkarno

The Beau Brummels on The Flintstones

And I’d definitely never seen:

Harry Nilsson on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

It’s not the 60s but...

Doobie Brothers on What’s Happening.

Which Doobie you be?

@coldfootfilms is correct. It’s not a proper list without...

The Mosquitoes on Gilligan’s Island

But wait, there’s more:

Chad & Jeremy on The Dick Van Dyke Show

Here’s some...

Paul Revere & the Raiders on The Smothers Brothers

The Byrds on Ed Sullivan

Not to be outdone...

The Turtles on Ed Sullivan

Smokey Robinson & the Miracles on Ed Sullivan

It’s a movie not TV but...

Chocolate Watchband in Riot on the Sunset Strip

The Strawberry Alarm Clock in Psych-Out

Max Frost & the Troopers in Wild in the Streets

Holy shit

The Seeds on The Mothers in Law

Who knew they were around long enough for tv?

Derek and the Dominoes on the Johnny Cash Show

The Beatles on Blackpool Night Out

The Who on the Smothers Brothers

Dave Clark Five on the Top of the Pops

Gary Lewis on Hullabaloo

The Ronettes on Shindig

Here we go:

The Grateful Dead on Playboy After Dark

How about Bobby Zimmerman on the Johnny Cash Show

Because this obviously deserves its own thread, here’s a compendium of 90s pop acts on 90s sitcoms.

And today I learned that the fictional Mosquitoes were played by real life rock band The Wellingtons.

Me: I like to use Twitter to provide real time commentary on current events as their happening.

Also Me: I can’t believe more people aren’t following my super timely thread on “60’s Pop Bands appearing on 60’s Sitcoms.” 😩😩
I was today years old when I learned about:

The Buffalo Springfield on Mannix

Or that my beloved Paul Revere & the Raiders were on Batman.

Alanis Morisette @ The Hollywood Bowl. The perfect Mother’s Day present for my wife Beth. Image
It seems almost silly to call an act whose first personal album sold 33 million copies worldwide. But she was such a meteor, such a symbol of the zeitgeist that many have unfairly reduced her to “remember the 90s” status. But with the 25th anniversary of Jagged Little Pill...
...with the Broadway musical, and really, with the pandemic, people got to remember how much they missed Alanis. I feel she’s finally getting her due, not just as a phenomenon but as a phenomenal talent.

President Carter’s birthday yesterday reminded me that it’s never bad to salute some legends of my youth while they are blessedly still with us. I’m sure I’m forgetting many. But these four came to mind. 🙏🙏
A few more American Legends worthy of being honored.

Banning marijuana from the Olympics, but not alcohol, is just a tiny microcosm of the disproportionate drug sentencing along racial lines that have hit minority cultures for over a century.
In the early 20th century, pot was perceived by American lawmakers as a drug only used by Mexican immigrants. As such, the sentencing was always disproportionately harsher than that for “white person drugs” like pills or alcohol. No matter the physiological effects.
American drug sentencing has always been as much about “who” than “what.” It explains the wildly dissimilar sentencing guidelines for crack and powder cocaine. Powder was seen as party drug for rich white people. Crack is not seen that way. The sentencing fully reflects that.
